Prospective Law May Give Roosevelt Dictator’s Rights Over Government Funds
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—(UP)—President-elect Roosevelt would have dictatorial powers over the public purse to save money and balance the budget, including authority to reduce war veterans’ compensation, under a legislative act which Speaker John N. Garner will seek to put through the house.
Garner today instructed Rep.*. 4. To dismiss employes.
James P. Buckanan, Dem.. Tex., acting subcommittee chairman, to draft an amendment broadening still further the unusual power granted Rooseevlt by the senate to reorganize the goveriment in the economy bill. Garner said this power must be granted, as congress can not do the job.
Buckanan revealed the amendment he contemplates goes far beyond the authority to eliminate and consolidate bureaus, as provided by the senate. It wrould coru fer these sweeping executive powers, not heretofore exercised even in war:
1. To reduce all contractual agreements, including veterans compensation, wages and salaries, mail contracts, etc.
2. To hold up and impound specific appropriations.
Roosevelt would be empowered to take drastic action to cut expenditures as soon as he assumes office. Congress could check him only by two thirds vote of both houses, and that must be done in 60 days. These unprecedented powers would extend for two years.
Garner discovered as soon as he decided upon this extraordinary course for a Democratic government that he will have a battle royal when the economy bill is brought before the house in a few days for a vote on the drastic amendment.
Cries of “Mussolini” came from House Republican Leader Bertrand H. Snell on the strength of the senate action even before the speaker had revealed his

Two Arrested In Kidnaping
Police Lead Mrs. Skeele Blindfolded Through Suspect’s Home
By United Press
A young woman music teacher and her man of all work faced kidnaping charges tonight in a bizarre abduction plot aimed at a college dean’s wife and a minister’s daughter.
Detectives ordered the pair booked in jail when Mrs. Mary B. Skeele, 65, walked blindfolded through the teacher’s house and declared she recalled ln it many details of a house where kidnapers held her prisoner for 24 hours.
Confronts Suspects Before that, Mrs. Skeele and Miss Isobel Smith, 29, confronted the two suspects for possible identification. xThe outcome Vas not disclosed, but police announced soon after that Luella Pearl Hammer, 28, the teacher, and W. D. Howard, 30, will be held pending a grand jury hearing.
With ransom notes, false mustaches and hoax telephone calls as clues in the case, authorities pinned their faith on Mrs. Skeele’s reactions as she groped through the Pasadena house once occupied by Mrs. Hammer.
Parallel Cases A few days before, Miss 3mith, daughter of Dr. Merle N. Smith, Methodist pastor of Pasadena, was the victim of a» attempted abduction under circumstances paralleling the Skeele case. Miss Smith, who like Mrs. Hammer was a former student of Dean Skeele, broke away from the man and woman who tried to force her into their automobile.
Blindfold Test The white-haired professor’s wife was blindfolded bp detectives just as she had been by her abductors. Up the steps to Mrs. Hammer’s house, then across the porch and into a bedroom she was led, and then she lay down on the bed.
“Yes, this seems very much like the place,” she said.
A clock chimed the hour in the next room.
“That clock!” she cried. “It sounds like the clock I heard.”

“It is in response to insistent demand that this need be filled that The University of Southern California has organized to reestablish this school as one of the
schools coordinate with the other professional divisions w]^h go to make up the university
“The splendid new equipment afforded by the completion of the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library,” Dr. von KleinSmid points out, “has given new impetus to the project, and has made It possible for the university generously tO respond to the demand for this type of education.”
To meet the urgent request that facilities be organized as soon as possible, courses for teacher librarians are announced as a feature of the coming summer session at S.C. The program for teacher-librarians later will be coordinated with the general pro. fess / al courses to be included in the curriculum of the new library school. President von KleinSmid advises.

Two Arrested In Kidnaping
Police Lead Mrs. Skeele Blindfolded Through Suspect’s Home
By United Press
A young woman music teacher and her man of all work faced kidnaping charges tonight in a bizarre abduction plot aimed at a college dean’s wife and a minister’s daughter.
Detectives ordered the pair booked in jail when Mrs. Mary B. Skeele, 65, walked blindfolded through the teacher’s house and declared she recalled ln it many details of a house where kidnapers held her prisoner for 24 hours.
Confronts Suspects Before that, Mrs. Skeele and Miss Isobel Smith, 29, confronted the two suspects for possible identification. xThe outcome Vas not disclosed, but police announced soon after that Luella Pearl Hammer, 28, the teacher, and W. D. Howard, 30, will be held pending a grand jury hearing.
With ransom notes, false mustaches and hoax telephone calls as clues in the case, authorities pinned their faith on Mrs. Skeele’s reactions as she groped through the Pasadena house once occupied by Mrs. Hammer.
Parallel Cases A few days before, Miss 3mith, daughter of Dr. Merle N. Smith, Methodist pastor of Pasadena, was the victim of a» attempted abduction under circumstances paralleling the Skeele case. Miss Smith, who like Mrs. Hammer was a former student of Dean Skeele, broke away from the man and woman who tried to force her into their automobile.
Blindfold Test The white-haired professor’s wife was blindfolded bp detectives just as she had been by her abductors. Up the steps to Mrs. Hammer’s house, then across the porch and into a bedroom she was led, and then she lay down on the bed.
“Yes, this seems very much like the place,” she said.
A clock chimed the hour in the next room.
“That clock!” she cried. “It sounds like the clock I heard.”

“It is in response to insistent demand that this need be filled that The University of Southern California has organized to reestablish this school as one of the
schools coordinate with the other professional divisions w]^h go to make up the university
“The splendid new equipment afforded by the completion of the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library,” Dr. von KleinSmid points out, “has given new impetus to the project, and has made It possible for the university generously tO respond to the demand for this type of education.”
To meet the urgent request that facilities be organized as soon as possible, courses for teacher librarians are announced as a feature of the coming summer session at S.C. The program for teacher-librarians later will be coordinated with the general pro. fess / al courses to be included in the curriculum of the new library school. President von KleinSmid advises.
